The fact that the controls are linked to the transformations makes the gameplay a bit confusing and frustrating.

It is hard to get used to and I got stumped after the level with the squares blocking your way. I think if you made the controls clearer and balanced the difficulty a bit this could be a good game."},{"author_name":"pikmin4000","author_uid":"13796","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 3:05pm","epoch":1461078000,"text":"Ah the phasing level! Yes I agree it is quite a difficult concept. You have to accelerate yourself using the Triangle form(down arrow) to reach a speed that can allow you to phase through the blocks. Good luck!"},{"author_name":"ginger9","author_uid":"72781","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 3:55pm","epoch":1461081000,"text":"I can't pass that glass :("},{"author_name":"pikmin4000","author_uid":"13796","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 9:08pm","epoch":1461099780,"text":"Try holding up-arrow key and tapping the down-arrow key to bounce off the wall and speed up.\r\rThank you for your patience."},{"author_name":"Cosmologicon","author_uid":"1151","time":"Apr 26, 2016 @ 5:38pm","epoch":1461691980,"text":"I managed to beat it after following your advice for phasing. It's not a bad idea for a mechanic, but it very non-intuitive. It seems like a game glitch and if you hadn't specifically said that that's what you're supposed to do, I would have assumed it was "cheating". Maybe if the glass shattered when you went through it instead. Overall not bad. I liked the mood."},{"author_name":"tomlum","author_uid":"88336","time":"Apr 29, 2016 @ 1:51pm","epoch":1461937560,"text":"Very very very cool. Took me a minute to get used to shapeshifting but once I had it down it felt really intuitive and very satisfying. Limiting the number of transformations was a surprisingly interesting mechanic, and also the puzzles were all (for me) the perfect amount of challenging and interesting.

I do agree that the controls kinda work against you but the whole physics behavior difference for each shape was really neat. Could definitely see more shapes with different properties being fun as long as the controls could be nailed down.\r\rNice work overall!"},{"author_name":"nhojrekrap","author_uid":"89453","time":"May 9, 2016 @ 5:32pm","epoch":1462814820,"text":"After getting to grips with it I really enjoyed the control system and the way you have built levels around it!"},{"author_name":"spiffl","author_uid":"45731","time":"May 9, 2016 @ 9:34pm","epoch":1462829340,"text":"Good game! I got stuck, but I don't actually think it's too hard; I'm just bad at these sort of games. I do think transformations shouldn't be the up and down keys: in general, it's a good idea to relegate "actions" to other buttons (usually z or x), since the transformations don't directly cause movement. Changing to the triangle to make a big bounce, then back to the circle to maintain height is a great feeling though!"},{"author_name":"Omiya Games","author_uid":"20557","time":"May 9, 2016 @ 10:46pm","epoch":1462833660,"text":"Most puzzles were pretty good, but any level requiring phasing through solid blocks seems to demand a lot from the player.
